house i have. my own. voice from the past use for it koch. oil millionaire member of the radical anti communist john birch society and. of charles and di but while the threat of communism has long since passed it's striking how fictive it still remains to instantly demonize opponents as evidenced in the descriptions of the climate and health care policies and right through out the tea parties why had the a.n.c. obama spin doctors resorted to the language of the cold war propaganda. and why has it been so effective in causing the styria among tea party co was. curious i went

to see not crispin miller n.y.u. professor and corporate candor expert there are certain techniques that that propagandists really need to use and they're so basic that you know they believe the same in arguable to us or we never even noticed but one thing that one must still of course is close on this message and a kind of moral righteousness. you know we really believe in liberty people even free enterprise we hear that all the time but that basically means crony capitalism but it implies something that most americans will you know feel a surge of positive emotion about right now there is a tacit opposition there between free enterprise and little communism and that's the other technique that that has to be you still you've also got to have the enemies game and that's at its service scapegoats and against which you can and

1:41 am
a bit more about how propaganda works and i went to examine its use as freedom works close to the first ever national tea party in washington d.c. we just feel a government takeover of all the businesses we care the government takeover of our liberty we've got releasing the constitution and. we have said at home and not said anything but not the latest polls going on and finally we have done about the challenge and come to do something that we're not going to stop. coming. out of. and. the things i got the nerve to call are.

those who produce in the united states and the tea parties of course are the battleground. we are today as an army we are the thin line between freedom and the status they want to create freedom is a wonderful thing to fight for it's time for us to join the army not something. in nashville i met up with a collection of libertarian groups crossing the country teaching guerilla internet tactics for free market ideals over two hundred years ago guys a group of people just like you did something extraordinary ordinary people doing extraordinary things they were activists just like you i truly believe that they were activists then we are activists now make no distinction about it so what we do we become digital activists we identify the medium we learn the media we manipulate the media it was printing presses then it's the internet now that's where we

i. need to enjoying the second american revolution. hundred. radical capitalist revolution was under why the tea party establishment officially adopted the mantra for the markets it was a stunning comeback for an ideology that seemingly lie in ruins to the mortgage crisis early one year early on the symbol of which was federal reserve chairman and champion of free markets alan greenspan said missing but the regulation doesn't work you would had an ideology the free competitive markets are by far the on rival way to organize economies if you found a flaw in the reality or in the model that i perceived is the critical functioning structure of the confines how the world works so to speak in other
1:50 am
words you found that your is your view of the world your ideology was not right it was not working it had a one size tea party backed republican candidates emerged all over the country to contest the two thousand and ten elections promising to stop the energy tax repeal health care and reduce the size of government. well the koch's chipped in to support some three dozen a party candidates as usual they real contribution was behind the scenes. ensuring at least resort in aspen colorado they hosted a secret strategy session with a network of ultra wealthy donors and powerful allies including glenn beck cording to this letter from charles at the joint mazie disappearance committed to an unprecedented level of support soon after americans for prosperity announced plans to spend a staggering forty five million dollars on elections they ran ads attacking politicians
1:51 am
supporting the obama agenda. but by much tried to back key sing at being a corporate front in more than a dozen speeches but if you're in the battleground state right now you are being bombarded with negative ads every single day and nobody knows who's paying for these events they've got these names like americans for prosperity meanwhile in a test kinds known as citizens united supreme court which included two judges who had attended secret. corporations were afraid to anonymously invest as much as they wanted in front groups like i have a. republican operative seized upon the decision creating new groups and flooding the airwaves with canes of millions of dollars in ads for unknown toenails. on the grassroots summit i have paid dusted off their glasses launching their november is coming campaign i s p and freedom works also used
1:52 am
a considerable budgets to try and move the us the tea party army identify your voters in a merger devo bring about a vote that's it the tea party was ready to strike hard laugh than the last panel not the president no we're out here on the corner in north philadelphia we're down now going to be about up here we have a fully operational ball magnet that you know been in nine of mourning through americans for prosperity freedom run and i'll bet we have our people out there door knocking and we're standing here now and hear that we're going to that we don't like you might you be you want we don't like your daughter america we don't like your company if i were to get back on november thank you. for this morning it is being called a g.o.p. sleep and a tea party title away in the biggest one found for either party since nineteen forty eight the new one hundred twelfth congress will feature forty tea party members a lot of libertarian leaning individuals within the tea party movement especially
1:53 am
when it comes to taxes and over regulations and up to this agenda that is taking us in the long direction it's a message of. limited prostitution government in principle you since you're going to have regulation in the control room at washington's become. there's a new day now the republicans took control of the house in november two thousand and ten very anti government agenda and fact one of their agenda items is to you know take out four government agencies like the part of education part of energy to say when you have politicians elected who want to shut down the government it sets a pretty interesting tone for the debate for me this newfound zeal for the koch's radical free market ideology is the real revolution of the tape party movement has nothing to do with people and y'all clustering waving flags will hold in protest of
1:54 am
things but it is a revolution that has everything's it's a live hidden corporate agendas complicit media players season propagandists a highly coordinated network of free market groups and most of all a pair of brothers with a dream to create a privatized america the american dream of free enterprise capitalism is alive and well. and so what does the american dream mean. american dream to be sure one word freedom if any american dream means defaming am i right in our freedoms and liberties that i mean this country to me the american dream is to live in peace and prosperity and freedom and a government under socialism is not a government of freedom what about the freedom of individuals to make up their own mind through reason and rational bikes what about the freedom to trust the
1:55 am
grassroots movements are just facts and not tools of the wealthy and what is the sky on which this is happening sight about the state of the mirror democracy. i think it's a serious threat to a democracy and i think people are mostly unaware of it if not completely unaware of the threat they're very much unaware of the front groups and aware of how their thoughts are being manipulated and how their actions are actually being manipulated in many cases. i think they're unaware that we to large extent have a plutocracy in this country or at least of the merging line rather than democracy and i think that's because of the the rise of power and influence of corporations and the way to tell you've been able to use p.r. p.r. tactics and propaganda to get what they want they want we are grounding. propaganda drowning out. and i'm not speaking
1:56 am
figuratively i think it's threatening our lives it's it's cutting off our air it's making real democracy. all that impossible it has brought the planet to the point of ecological destruction it's had no positive consequences about sore ever because it doesn't serve the people it serves other interests i've come to believe more and more as i've been studying this this problem. that the real currency. in democracy is honest information. that if you are on a mass scale able to pump out false information then
1:57 am
the whole democratic system kind of breaks up. and yet these people have a perfect right to do it and hide. they're involvement. and now you have very motivated people out across the country who are activists who are willing to fight for what they think is right for themselves but in fact is forwarding a corporate agenda is to stop regulations and to stop taxes and they're not going to stop in two thousand and ten they will continue through the twenty twelve elections as the tea party is march on to two thousand and twelve and they call of taking out president obama and installing politician who fought for the right to free markets my only message truth is to be careful what you wish for because you just might get us.
